These are outstanding news for anyone who has tried to get off their dairy-based diet but has had a big difficulty doing so due to their intense dietary psychological addiction or habits.

Dairy industry is a source of serious animal cruelty. It is also environmentally unsustainable causing massive damage to our planet's ecosystems and therefore contributing to climate change.

So far, plant-based alternatives to cheese have had difficulties in replacing cheese's unique structure and ability to melt - they tend to turn to liquid in high temperature instead of melting.
Now, with this new, synthetic milk technology we may not need to worry anymore while we indulge on chocolate or cheese.

This technology uses process of fermenting strain of yeast (called Buttercup) to replicate cow's milk DNA, which in effect produces real milk proteins. Later, those milk proteins (whey and casein) are mixed with sugar, vitamins, minerals and water in order to produce lactose-free milk.
The whole process uses much less water than conventional milk, so is much more environmentally sustainable than traditional milk production.

Perfect Day Foods is based in San Francisco and has, so far raised $4 million from investors. It is planning to introduce their first product by the end of 2017.
